He only missed 11 games, so what r u talkin bout. Missin 11 games does not excuse a decline.

And it doesn't matter what his career average is. People act like he's still at his peak. The point is, he has declined from his peak 3 years in a row. He's declining and even posting some of the worse numbers of his career.

Wade is declining bcuz of injury and so is Amare. Y are ppl sh*ttin on Amare, when we all know the injuries/surgeries is the reason for his decline. But ain't nobody givin him no pass and I ain't givin Melo no pass. I ain't givin anyone a pass. Declining is declining. Simple as that. Injuries are apart of the game.

And I believe Melo was used as a decoy bcuz teams are hip to his game. Just like Lebron was used as a decoy in that last game against the Thunder. They were hip to his sh*t and made him give it up or shoot his bullsh*t jumper. Teams are doin Melo like that even more. They coming in expecting the iso and he's gotten slower at makin his move leading to the popular notice of him stopping the ball everytime he catches it, something that wasn't as noticeable until this year.

When he was healthy the first month of the season, 24 6 and 4 (playing entirely different than he has before), healthy last month of the season he averaged 30 and shot 50%
